I think there's a lot of people who equate aversion of disgust on their part to meaning something is morally wrong, and it's so blatantly not how the world works
Colonoscopy bags and feeding tubes make me uncomfortable (tubes going into the skin make me uncomfortable, honestly even IVs make me kind of uncomfortable), but that doesn't make them immoral. It's obviously just up to me to be polite and deal with my own shit in my own head rather than being rude for no reason... which is exactly what I do
I'm not gonna be weird towards someone who needs that stuff, and honestly if I weren't saying this here to make a point you'd probably never know I felt that way cause it's just my job to suck it up and move on cause it's not actually a big deal
Yet so often people basically use their gut feelings of something being yucky as the beginning, middle, and end of their argument for why it's wrong and should exist
Sorry, come back with an actual argument
Be an adult, grow up, and come back when you have actual proof of harm or else shut the hell up (and honestly if it's about how someone else is living their own life, I kind of don't care what proof you think you have, still shut the hell up)
#you know; like one example I very much can give about this is the way people will be like 'being fat is unhealthy' and it's like cool...#but also shut the fuck up; just fucking let people live their lives#like even if you're right; you're still being a huge asshole to that random person for no damn reason; shut your stupid mouth#frankly it's like... lets say someone pours bleach on their eggs every day#after I've made sure they understand how wildly fucking dangerous that is; if they're like 'I know; but I like it'#...you know... what else can I do?#yeah they're probably gonna end up real fucked up or dead; but if they're an adult living their own life...#you know... how do I get to enforce how they live it?#unless they have dementia or something; unless I have reason to believe they are incapable of understanding...#I mean... people are allowed to make harmful bad decisions#so long as they're not bleaching anyone else's eggs... I kinda gotta just piss off no matter how I feel about it#and this is an extreme hyperbolic situation I've picked just to show where the line is drawn#that even in extreme cases of undeniable harm... do I really get to stick my nose in?#the shit people are actually sticking their noses into other people's business over are way more minor shit#where even more it's like how bout you fuck off and let that person do what they want with their life#I don't have to approve; frankly I don't even need an opinion#unless they're hurting someone by being like a tiktok prankster... not my business
